"They came out to give me an estimate on a new sliding glass door without me having to be present. Then they contacted me and also sent me via email a copy of the estimate and went over any questions I had. They were able to install that week (which I did need right away). They were on time, neat, cleared out everything, friendly, and the price for the work they did was great. They did an excellent job. Wish I would have known of them last year when I needed two windows replaced. I will be using them for any future work that I need."
"I do not often write reviews, but I feel exemplary service should be recognized. Roland of Star Home Improvements did a great job advising me on sliding glass door replacement. When the door replacement quoted was not available he ordered a more expensive door at no cost- showing integrity in his business practices. Not many companies would stand behind their estimate in the same situation. Install went smoothly and team arrived on time and cleaned up afterwards. I highly recommend Star Home Improvements."

"It is with deep satisfaction that I recommend Grady?s Painting and Plastering & Construction. Mr. George Grady is a skilled craftsman. He was hired to correct long neglected and extensive masonry and window issues on a large, beautiful Presbyterian Church built in the Civil War era in Philadelphia. The property was neglected with only minimal maintenance performed over the last 40+ years. The building was in severe decline and in need of stabilization and restoration on many fronts. Cracked ledge plates were chipped out and reestablished, internal walls damaged by leakage were broken out and repaired, brickwork was repointed and in severe cases reestablished to original strength and beauty. Leaks around the base of the building were addressed to stabilize deterioration of the foundation. Large rotted window sills under beautiful stained glass windows were restored after significant masonry reestablishment due to water damage under the rotted out sills. Broken and missing stained glass windows are in the process of repair and replacement. The process started with new metal frames cast by Mr. Grady. The new frames will hold clear painted replications of the original stained glass, also crafted by Mr. Grady. Regular windows all around the church and manse were also repaired and restored. Roof leaks were accurately identified and repaired. A sagging plaster ceiling has been torn out and restored. All this work was done by Mr. Grady alone or with an occasional helper. He worked with care, expertise and respect for the original structure. The results far exceeded our expectations and have injected new life into a building on the brink. This building, owned by the Presbytery of Philadelphia, now houses a new urban ministry in a newly gentrifying area of the city. We are happy to have had the good fortune to be connected to Grady's Painting and Plastering & Construction"

"July 22, 2014 update. One garage door window was broken during the accident. This company's response stated that they would contact me upon my return from out of town. They did not. I called them and left a message but got no response. I waited a while before calling again, assuming that they were simply busy. While I waited, I removed the remaining broken glass in the frame. In doing so, I had to remove brackets holding the glass, from the inside. I sent them an email several weeks ago, asking if they could sell me the clips, or if they needed to replace the glass themselves. No response! I called them a week or so later, and spoke with the lady who answered. She recognized my name, she said, and would have someone bet back with me regarding the glass. No response! I called a second time, with the same information and was again told they would contact me. No response! A few days ago, I called a THIRD time, speaking with, I think, one of the owners. She assured me they would try to find the needed clips, and contact me. No Response!
At this point, I will either figure a way to replace the glass myself or call someone else. I also lowered my Angie;s List ratings accordingly. ]
I called on a Friday, as the damage occurred on Thursday night. The lady who answered the phone said "all our crews are out for the day - we can be there Monday". I was a bit surprised, as their site states "24/7 service". We were leaving on vacation on Tuesday, so I was a bit nervous about getting it fixed before we left. With few choices, I agreed on Monday. The service tech arrived at the scheduled time. He gave me the impression that he was new in the garage door business. He asked me what happened and what the current shape the door was in. I was very pleasantly surprised that he immediately started repairing the door using a set of horizontal braces. I assumed he would try to sell me a new door. It took him no longer than half an hour or so, and the door worked - good as new. And the price was very fair. I was a bit surprised that they would send a new worker out without an experienced person. One of the glass door windows had broken, and he did not know how to replace it. He called later and asked to come back to measure the glass - something he should have done while still here. We were too busy packing, preparing pets, etc., so I had to tell him it couldn't be done that day. I was also surprised that he didn't offer to adjust the Down Force on the door, to keep the problem from happening again. When I asked him why the door failed to reverse, he muttered something about sometimes a chip in an opener will fail. Again, it seemed that fixing the root cause of the problem would go along with the repair. I've made this adjustment several times over the years, and know that it only takes a few minutes. In fact, I mentioned that it appears I will have to adjust the down force - assuming he would take the hint that he should do it. His response was "yes, it appears that it needs it". Maybe he didn't know how. Bottom line - The immediate problem was fixed, at a fair price. I would use this company again - although would insist on an experienced person."
"I contacted Supreme Window and Door to find a good solution to my home office, which is right next to a major high way. My current windows are 20 years old, and are leaking air. Road noise was free to enter, making it a really bad place for work. Albert came by right on time, and recommended a solution with laminated glass windows to me. He also explained the performance differences and cost differences. I decided to give it a try. The order took exactly the amount of time they predicted. Eric and his crew installed the windows very professionally. I noticed one of the windows was not level compared with other windows. Eric explained that it was because of the weight of the laminated glass window, and the frame itself, which is not square. However, he took extra effort to help me adjust it to a good balance. Now, I can work quietly in my own office. Thanks to Supreme Window and Door. "
For small cracks, glass-bonding glue that can be pressed into cracks may be able to save a broken mirror. If a corner of a mirror has been chipped, you may be able to conceal the fact by adding a border or frame to the mirror. Deeper cracks and chips should be addressed by a glass-restoration professional if you're trying to preserve an antique or heirloom mirror.
The best tool for DIYers to use to cut glass is a glass cutter, which can either use a straight blade or a sharp cutting wheel to score glass. Once you score the lines you want to cut, elevate the scored line over a pivot point and apply light, even pressure to both sides. Make sure you wear protective gloves and glasses to stay safe during the process.
Their thickness depends on application, but most glass walls are typically 3/8 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Although it’s not as common, single panes of glass can also be 1 inch thick.
You should avoid multi-surface cleaners, bleach, and any cloth or scrubbing material that has a rough surface when cleaning mirrors. Multi-surface cleaners and bleach will get smudges and debris off of the glass, but they more often leave behind cleaner residue because they don’t evaporate like a glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Additionally, any abrasive material or even the scrubbing side of a sponge can scratch your glass or coatings on the glass, gradually making the mirror look hazy.
This happens when condensation forms due to your room temperature being lower than its dew point. You can clean the glass with a combination of baking soda, vinegar, and warm water to wipe away the fog from the doors.
